With all of his riches and greed.

We are so caught up

In the arms race of

Prosperity,

That we are forgetful of what

Truly

Matters

In our hands.

Conjecture of

That you forget to be
Thoughtful of yourself.

Yet how much is not yours to carry.
We are here glorifying the wrong things,
And taking the right things
For granted.

And the seventh,

Culpability, a guilt,

Iniquity, and contrition,

Shame.
